Tá an cúrsa seo dírithe ar mhic léinn a bhfuil suim acu obair trí mheán na Gaeilge i réimse an dlí. Beidh sé mar aidhm ag an gcúrsa sainscileanna teanga a chur ar fáil do mhic léinn ionas gur féidir leo cur isteach ar phostanna gairmiúla mar aistritheoirí ar cháipéisí dlí in Éirinn agus san Aontas Eorpach. Leagfar béim sa dara seimeastar ar shliochtanna níos faide a aistriú atá dúshlánach ó thaobhna gramadaí agus na comhréire de, ar anailís chriticiúil a dhéanamh ar aistriúcháin ar reachtaíocht agus ar cháipéisí dlí, ar léamh profaí agus ar áiseanna ar líne a úsáid chun aistriúcháin chruinn a chur ar fáil go tapa. Tabharfar roinnt eolais ghinearálta maidir le deiseanna gairme le haghaidh aistritheoirí i réimse an dlí. Gheobhaidh tú tuiscint níos doimhne freisin ar chúlra agus ar chomhthéacs an dualgais cáipéisí a bhaineann leis an dlí a chur ar fáil i nGaeilge. Ina theannta sin, gheobhaidh tú breis taithí ar na tástálacha síciméadracha a úsáidtear mar chuid den phróiseas earcaíochta d'aistritheoirí san Aontas Eorpach. Is gá pas a fháil i Modúil IR40390 Dlí I roimh tabhairt faoin modúil seo.
This course is aimed at students who are interested in working through Irish in the legal field. The objective of the course will be to provide students with specific Irish language skills so that they are able to apply for jobs as translators of legal texts in Ireland and in the European Union. Emphasis will be placed in the second trimester on translating longer passages that are challenging in terms of grammar and syntax, on conducting a critical analysis of translations of legislation and of legal documents, on proofreading and on the use of online resources to make accurate translations available quickly. Some general information will be provided on professional opportunities for translators in the legal field. You will also gain a deeper understanding of the background and context of the obligation to make documents relating to the law available in Irish. In addition, you will gain further experience of the psychometric tests that are used as part of the recruitment process for translators in the European Union. Module IR 40390 Dlí I must be passed before beginning this module.
